On the support of what area should a load weighing 100N be placed so that it can withstand a pressure of 100000Pa.

Given:
P = 100 Newton – weight of a certain load;
N = 100000 Pascal – the pressure that the support can withstand.
It is required to determine s (square meter) – the minimum support area.
To determine the minimum support area, you must use the following formula:
N = P / s, from here we get that:
s = P / N = 100/100000 = 1/1000 = 0.001 m2 (square meters).
Answer: The minimum support area should be 0.001 m2.
